Blunderbuss, crossbow and pipe bomb seized in Conder

ACT Policing has seized two illicit firearms and an improvised explosive device following the execution of a search warrant at a residence in Conder on Saturday (July 5).

Members from Tuggeranong and Woden Criminal Investigations executed the search warrant seizing a sawn off double barrel shotgun, a sawn off .22 rifle along with ammunition, a crossbow and an improvised explosive device (pipe bomb).

The street was closed off while the AFP Bomb Team cleared the house of the improvised device, with a number of residents evacuated as a precaution.

A 26-year-old man will be summonsed to attend the ACT Magistrates Court at a later date charged with offences relating to the seized items.
